EPOCH Assisted Living at Melbourne promotes two marketing professionals
10:35AM / Friday, January 23, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — EPOCH Assisted Living at Melbourne has promoted Amy McNally to marketing director and Rita Schillinger to marketing outreach coordinator. As marketing director, McNally will work with families considering assisted living to help them determine if EPOCH at Melbourne is the right choice. Schillinger will direct EPOCH’s community and media outreach, coordinating advertising and public relations efforts.
McNally has worked at EPOCH for more than three years as the marketing outreach coordinator. Schillinger began her career at EPOCH as a receptionist and certified nursing assistant before being promoted to marketing outreach coordinator.
“Amy has helped us build important relationships with other businesses and members of the community. That experience will be an asset as she oversees all of our marketing efforts,” said EPOCH at Melbourne Executive Director Diane Weinstein. “Since Rita came to EPOCH it has been a pleasure watching her develop a passion for working with seniors, which will grow as she represents EPOCH in the larger community as marketing outreach coordinator,” continued Weinstein.
McNally is very involved in the Alzheimer’s Association of Massachusetts and will chair the 2009 Memory Walk committee. She earned her bachelor’s degree in business and accounting from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and is a graduate of the Berkshire Leadership Program. Schillinger is working toward her nursing degree and registered nurse certification. She has worked at EPOCH for more than four years.
